Three Weeks and Counting

Can you believe that I only have three more weeks until my due date? It seems like I've been pregnant forever, and it's hard to imagine that this journey will end soon. I feel pretty good except that I'm tired. Do you think I'm so tired because I'm eight months pregnant, because I have two little ones, because I'm still recovering from my sinus infection, or because I'm not sleeping well? Does it really matter? I'm just trying to take it easy for these last few weeks. I keep my "to do" lists short with a lot of sitting down work (like folding clothes). I have been getting "Baby Sister's" room ready, and that has been fun. Sarah Beth is getting excited although I don't think she quite understands. But she loves going through all the clothes and things; she thinks it's neat that she used these things when she was a baby. Daniel is absolutely clueless. I'm a little worried about him because he is such a Momma's boy, but he will adjust. He'll have to. I'm also working on getting my pantry and freezer stocked to make suppertime as easy as possible after the baby comes. John has been very sweet. He knows that it's hard for me (because of my big ol' belly) to bathe our children, so he has taken that job.

I'm getting excited about having a new baby in our house. I was a little apprehensive with Daniel because I knew that having two would be difficult, but I really haven't felt that way with this baby. Maybe I'm just more relaxed because I know it won't hurt me (or anyone else) if things like housework get neglected.

In case you're wondering, the baby counter on the right figured my due date as February 5 whereas my doctor figured it as February 2. There's not a big difference there, but it does account for the discrepancy.

Such a short amount of time! But I remember how crummy you can feel during the last month :) I hope the time goes quickly for you, and I can't wait to meet the soon-to-be newest member of your family!

I just have to add that a hubby who pitches in and helps with the kids like that is a real jewel! I'm used to my hubby doing so, but I know many who don't. Just another blessing to count, eh?

I can't believe it's so close! Since I didn't get to come up and see you a couple of weeks ago, I feel that it is even more imperative that you post a picture of your pregnant self immediately! I want to see your baby bump! :)
